I remembered how broke I was in college and now that I was making good money, I didn’t want to go back to bad spending habits. So I buckled down and saved about $1,000 each paycheck totaling to about $10,000 within ~7 months toward my emergency fund (I was aggressive). My paychecks went toward my emergency fund, investment fund, rent, groceries, and clothes. I love paying myself first. ⠀⠀My emergency fund and investment fund started to grow before my eyes. As I was saving rigorously but my student loans were piling up. I was now almost 1.5 years out of college and was only making minimum payments towards my loan. I refinanced one of my student loans. Talk about scary. I was so scared to do this, but it allowed me to receive a competitive interest rate.⠀Fear held me back from paying off any debt. It’s amazing how something like debt will allow you to be nervous about your finances. I didn’t want to pay off my debt, because I had saved up all this money and want to use it for a rainy day.

When I first thought of this idea, I didn't know how it would turn out. I originally called this episode "From Frenemies to Grace". But @crownjewel_evg wasn't a frenemy. I respected her. I didn't want any harm done to her. I just felt like we didn't understand each other, which resulted in our inability to communicate with another. Our tension grew not only personally, but we had to interact and engage professionally. Unfortunately (and fortunately), it made for some pretty uncomfortable and awkward situations. However, we found grace, through prayer, communication and our love for Jesus. Hear our story on this week's episode of the @findandsustain podcast about alleviating the tension, moving toward grace and finding peace in the most uncomfortable circumstances. Link in bio.
